THE ORIGIN STORY
Hi, I'm Molly, and this is my dog, Rocket.
Before Rocket the Springador came into our family life during Lockdown, it is fair to say I was more of a 'cat person.' I love my two cats Super and Nova so I was sceptical about getting a pooch... but Rocket is such a loving, loyal, faithful, enthusiastic friend, that I now sit in both camps!
I also have 3 other animals, aka, my children, and our house is mild chaos at the best of times, so it took a while to acclimatise to being a Dog Mother, too.
Once I did there was a lingering question, a question of style. As brand owner of Selfish Mother and a former Fashion Journalist, there was a dog accessory issue I kept coming back to...
I didn't mind walking Rocket, but if I had to witness regular loo breaks & pick up his numerous poops... why did I have to use such hideous plastic dog bags for the job?
So unstylish! Why did I have to look crap while picking up crap, I wondered...
Style & Substance...
Whenever I walked Rocket and took a dog-poop bag with me, my heart would sink... they were either plain army green, or black plastic.
Now, I believe in the William Morris adage, that 'have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.' So these bags weren't cutting the mustard for me.
Further more, as I investigated the bags on offer, I realised that many green-hued bags, were actually greenwashing us: they weren't even compostable.
I decided I wanted to create a dog bag that reflects my sense of fun and style, but that also could be composted afterwards.
So here we are...! Nincompoop is my answer: Dog bags that are cool and compostable.
Further more, the colours and prints make me smile... a bonus when picking up poop!
Plastic-free...
Nincompoop bags not only look cool but are compostable with it. If added to a household compost heap the bags degrade in 180 days.
Nincompoop bags have passed the degradation certification of DIN CERTCO, TUV ,BPI,ABA,and are 100% compostable and degradable. The main components are 70% PBAT, 5% PLA, 25% starch and a small amount of additives.
Nincompoop is proud to be plastic-free!
Not just for dogs!
I had to get a cat in here somewhere!
Even cats love these bags if my cat Super is anything to go by, as she was determined to get in on the Nincompoop photo shoot.
In fact, she's onto something... Nincompoop bags are as useful for cleaning up after cats, or if you have a human baby - they make a great nappy bag for those exploding nappy moments. I even keep a Nincompoop bag in the car for my kids' food waste on long journeys... after all they're compostable!
Feel free to use them for all life moments that require a stylish little receptacle to help clear things up. If you sign up for a subscription, you'll never be without a handy bag and you'll save money too... :)
